Jet Blast ~
Week of March 3rd
Hello Jet Families! It's a rather quiet week on the home-front, however, make sure you are looking ahead to important due dates coming up later in the month (please see below).
The SSC meets on Wednesday evening at 6:00pm in the Student Center. Agendas were sent out via email late last week; we welcome all to join us.
Spring Sports are in full action this week. You can find games for all our spring teams (Volleyball, Baseball, Softball, Badminton and Swimming) on the Home Page. Just click on the athletic calendar under Quick Links on the right.
Attendance: It's that time of year when seniors need to be very serious about their attendance and tardies, to be able to participate in Senior Activities. Please remember (whether you have a Senior or not) that it is very important to call in and report your student's absences each time your student is out. Brandi Castillo who handles 9-12 students with the last names of A-M can be reached at 510-748-4023, ext., 3108; Teresa Lee, handles 9-12 students with the last names of N-Z and can be reached at 510-748-4023, ext., 3109. Finally, for Junior Jets, please call in absences to Caroline Ardourel at 510-748-4023, ext., 3107. You can also email our Attendance Specialists when your child is going to miss school.
End of Third Quarter: The last day of the third quarter is Friday, March 15th.
